Chefs are always looking for easy ways to change their menus to meet the demand for GMO Free, plant-based foods. The demand for better-for-you foods isn’t just limited to the main menu item but also the small ingredients used in your kitchen. For example, breadcrumbs: A must have staple, especially for many Italian dishes. Unfortunately, most commercial Italian breadcrumbs are not GMO free, fully plant-based or have a clean ingredient list.
The “out-of-box thinking” is to use Italian Seasoned Authentic Panko breadcrumbs. It can do anything a standard breadcrumb can, only better!
The ingredients in our clean-label vegan Italian Panko are:
- Unbleached Wheat Flour
- Spices
- Sea Salt
- Cane Sugar
- Contains 2% or less of Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Canola Oil, Paprika, Yeast.
Upper Crust Enterprises Italian Panko is a delicious blend of Authentic Panko and premium Italian-style spices, and made with quality plant-based (vegan), clean GMO free ingredients – perfect for adding a little something extra to all of your favorite Italian classics.
Italian Seasoned Panko Compared to Standard Breadcrumb
Italian Seasoned Panko Compared to Standard BreadcrumbSubstitute Italian Seasoned Panko for your standard Italian-style breadcrumbs and notice the difference in taste, longer-lasting crispy texture, and its excellent versatility especially as coating and mix in for meatballs.
The key factors that make Italian Panko a better choice than standard Italian breadcrumbs are:
- Crispier texture – which holds up better to sauce and excellent for take out.
- No bready flavor – Panko breadcrumbs are flavor neutral, so you taste the spices and the food without a dense bready flavor.
- Bigger and better plate presentation – Panko has a flaky sliver shape so it provides a better look and makes coated items look bigger.
- Less Oily – Panko releases oil so your coated items are not oily or soggy, but light and crispy.
- Cleaner ingredient declaration – most Italian breadcrumbs have a long list of chemicals and dough conditioners. Not Panko, it has a short list of ingredients with no preservatives or dough conditioners.
- Vegan – All ingredients are plant-based without dairy or animals fats.
- GMO Free Certified
- Koser and Halal Certified
